EggshelEGGSHELL FOOD WRAPS: A BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC ALTERNATIVEl Food Wraps: A Biodegradable Plastic Alternative

As the world advances, so does the reliance on plastic due to its low cost and convenience. However, plastic waste harms the environment since it accumulates in landfills and takes a long time to decompose. This study addresses the issue by creating a biodegradable food wrap using eggshell powder, calcium acetate, and natural binders. Methodology: This study used quantitative experimental research, which involved forming a bioplastic mixture from these materials, shaping into food wraps, and testing for tensile strength, water absorption, and heat & bacterial resistance. The tests assessed the wrap’s feasibility as an alternative to plastic.
